stories of soldier's prowess. Once I wanted to hear something similar from my grandfather, but he was silent about it. He said that he had been wounded by shrapnel in the stomach when he served on an armored train near Leningrad. And he also said that the service on the armored train was very difficult. Then he served in the Air Defense Forces. I've always liked soldier's stories. 🙂

Rather than an autocratic leadership style, it is where a Commander gives his intent to his subordinates and how they achieve that intent is upto them. It’s particularly useful when the Commander is inexperienced and the subordinates are subject matter experts who can use their own experience and knowledge to determine the best course of action (for example, a new junior Officer with old SNCOs).

Once a servicemen, always a servicemen - you will always have my respect. I salute you. Well and truly. The world truly has changed. Far too much.

At 14 minutes the video starts discussing the nature of the 5cm short barrel gun on the Mk III panzer. Only problem is they picture the short barrelled 7.5 cm gun which was designed to be a support weapon providing a modicum of mobile artillery. It fired HE and HEAT rounds which at a shorter range was very effective on most tanks. Shame their research for this show does not include technical accuracy.
